[Bug 36581] Re: gam_server consumes lots of cpu time
Seems to me like a major bug: Has a severe impact on a small (?) portion of Ubuntu users. If developers don't consider this as major, I apologize, and you can set it back to normal. ** Changed in: gamin (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal = Major -- gam_server consumes lots of cpu time https://launchpad.net/bugs/36581 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 36581] Re: gam_server consumes lots of cpu time
What do you mean by dapper doesn't use gamin? edubuntu-desktop depends on it, as do many KDE apps in Kubuntu (like k3b, which is probably used by a few non-Kubuntu users as well). After all it is in main and many main-packages depend on it. Is it possible that all these packages can use another file alteration monitor then gamin? -- gam_server consumes lots of cpu time https://launchpad.net/bugs/36581 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 36581] Re: gam_server consumes lots of cpu time
Running Kubuntu Dapper up to date as of 2006-04-13, I see gam_server constantly at 15% CPU usage and echoing a lot of messages into ~/.xsession-errors (more than once a second): Failed to process 26 bytes from server invalid length 24902 invalid length 24902 invalid length 24902 invalid length 24902 many many times ... and then: end from FAM server connection invalid length 24902 invalid length 24902 invalid length 24902 invalid length 24902 invalid length 24902 ... many many times Funnily enough, after a reboot I was not able to reproduce it (using a VFAT storage device, browsing pictures, whatever...). But then doing nothing while writing this bug report (except for a look at less ~/.xsession-errors) suddenly gam_server went mad again. I don't know, if accessing ~/.xsession-errors could cause this problem, sounds too weird. I followed the debugging instructions and sent gam_server a SIGUSR2, which produced a big file in /tmp, of which I will attach a few hundred lines, which seem to repeat afterwards. maybe it is of help to track this annoying bug. Btw... There seem to be a few duplicates of this: #30868, #31329, #3814 ** Attachment added: gamin_debug message http://librarian.launchpad.net/2084194/gamin_debug -- gam_server consumes lots of cpu time https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/36581 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
